The hypocrisy and inconsistency of TV censorship

[Room101]

They bleep God Dame.
The word Kill is ok, but not shit.
They blur out the middle finger, but a knife or a gun in the face is ok.

When my son said the word kill, I almost freaked out he is only four.
When he said shit, I laughed inside and told him not to say it.
Our society is a joke; a middle finger is more offensive than a gun shooting at someone.
A middle finger is more offensive than a person smoking a crack pipe.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who notices this hypocrisy and inconsistency, with harmful images for our children on Tv.

1. The cover of this week's Economist is a cactus in the shape of

a flipped bird. The story is about the walk-out of developing nations from the world economic conference in Cancun.

3. Censorship

is a joke, i am a person who enjoys japaneese animation, and i am apalled by the FCC's treatment of it aparently its ok th show denis franz's ass on NYPD blue, but not in a cartoon thats specifically aimed twards adults. Also how they ran anime off the sci-fi channel, some of the best movies they got and the fcc wont allow them to show them,when in fact the movues that they do show are alot more offensive, in my opinion. And i remember on the 4th of july weekend they showed "southpark, bigger, longer, and uncut" uncut, nudity, the f-word and all, can someone tell me how comedy central swinged that with the FCC. Thanks for letting me vent.
